Inhaltsangabe

This second edition of "Urodynamics" details the technological innovations and new techniques that have accompanied a rapid expansion of the field since the mid 1980s. The objective is to put the subject of urodynamics over simply, but in enough detail to allow urodynamic investigation to be accepted on its own merit as a fundamental contributor to the management of many patients. The text describes the tests involved and shows in which clinical areas they can help the management of patients. It concentrates on common clinical problems and the presenting symptom complexes rather than the diagnosis, and points out any limitations and possible artefacts of investigation. This book aims to allow any clinician with no previous experience in urodynamics to appreciate the value and limitations of the subject and to obtain the necessary practical advice on the use of the appropriate equipment in the correct situations.

Reseña del editor

This new edition of Urodynamics takes into account the technological innovations and new techniques that have been introduced since the publication of the first edition in 1983. Urodynamics have since become more widely accepted and most hospitals now recognise that it is an essential part of the diagnostic process in urology and gynaecology. Specialists in geriatrics, paediatrics and neurology also recognise the importance of urodynamics in the investigation of a significant number of their patients. The purpose of the book is to provide a simple yet practical guide to the functional investigation of patients with incontinence and voiding disturbances. The text makes clear the fundamental and vital contribution of urodynamic investigation to the management of patients with any form of lower urinary tract dysfunction. The book concentrates on common clinical problems and the presenting symptom complexes rather than diagnosis; the limitations and possible artefacts of investigation are highlighted. Any clinician without previous experience in urodynamics will be able to appreciate the value and limitations of these investigative techniques as well as obtaining the necessary practical advice on the use of the appropriate equipment in the correct situations. Paul Abrams is Honorary Secretary of the International Continence Society, consultant urologist and Chairman of Research at the Bristol Urological Institute based at Southmead Hospital in Bristol. He is also the author of several books in the field.
